Comedian Michelle Collins also witnessed the incident and tweeted about what she saw.

“In a NY first, I just saw a man on the subway tracks at Bryant Park threatening to kill himself over the unfair treatment of women,” she wrote. “I spoke to an older woman waiting for the train who asked me if he was a Communist… In short, hope he gets help and New Yorkers as per usual did not bat a lash.”

In a NY first, I just saw a man on the subway tracks at Bryant Park threatening to kill himself over the unfair treatment of women.

The man left the tracks without injury as a Brooklyn-bound train arrived at the station, stopping ahead of the entrance after being warned about the solo protester — or “mole feminist” as Collins referred to him.
